Yes, by /lib/rcscripts/addons/lvm-stop.sh. |

Well, I'm not aware of anything. |

Actually it looks like the lvm utilities are now built as static |
| 30 |
executables by default (unless you have USE=nolvmstatic!). So I think |
| 31 |
the most dangerous case is already solved. I do remember there was |
| 32 |
one version that didn't work with existing metadata or some such |
| 33 |
thing, but it only survived a day or so ~x86! So if you want to be |
| 34 |
even more safe, don't accept the ~x86 keyword for sys-fs/lvm2. And it |
| 35 |
is always a good idea to keep a liveCD around, regardless of whether |
| 36 |
you are using lvm or not. |
